Fortune Unvieled

Wayne, despite not being Martha's biological son, feels a deep sense of duty to worship and fulfill his obligations to his mother. Wayne sought information about the anniversary of her death from Old Yueke and returned to his room. The two horses acquired from the wild dog gang were sold through the black market, with Old Yueke advising him to pay a handling fee of two hundred oren to maintain connections and ensure discretion.

However, Old Yueke, though somewhat arrogant, didn't take advantage of Wayne. He efficiently disposed of other farm property, which he generously handed over to Wayne. With money and goods settled the transaction was completed.

Receiving the money promptly, Wayne did not refuse it. Before opening the treasure chest, his total property amounted to nearly two thousand Oren. Wayne took off his equipment, placing it on the table alongside the money in his room.

Despite not being superstitious, Wayne took a hot bath, changed into clean clothes, and offered prayers to the gods. Finally, he sat cross-legged on the bed, prepared to open the treasure chest officially.

He had a significant number of ordinary treasure chests and two expert-level treasure chests in the system – one hundred and one ordinary ones and one expert-level chest were opened in the Elven Ruins. After contemplating for a moment, Wayne took a deep breath and decided to start with the expert-level chest, which had a slightly higher chance of yielding valuable equipment.

Ding! The treasure chest opened

Obtained: 124 pieces of Oren, a small magic storage bag.

Wayne was startled as the system sound rang out, announcing that he had acquired 124 pieces of Oren along with a small magic storage bag. The bag materialized beside him, resembling a money bag slightly larger than a fist and a cloth bag sewn from purple silk, adorned with magical inscriptions.

Upon hearing the system prompt, Wayne couldn't believe his luck. He opened his mouth in amazement and exclaimed, "What the hell! Is it the lucky attribute at work, or has the Goddess of Luck favored me so much?"

The term "magic storage bag" struck a chord in Wayne, as it was a common item in many magical worlds. Intrigued, he examined the purple magic pattern storage bag closely. His excitement was tinged with disappointment after a thorough inspection.

While the bag could store small items, it had limitations. Despite its palm-sized exterior, the internal space was only about a quarter of a cubic meter, and it couldn't be deformed at will. The depth was a mere one meter, preventing even Wayne's steel sword from fitting entirely. Nevertheless, the storage bag had a redeeming quality—it eliminated the weight effect for items placed inside, allowing for the storage of gems or gold coins without affecting the bag's weight. This solved Wayne's problem of carrying heavy purses filled with gold coins, providing a convenient solution for his newfound wealth.

However, the magic storage bag turned out to be a simple, ordinary magic item with no concept of ownership identification. It seemed that anyone could retrieve the items inside, emphasizing the need for careful safeguarding. Wayne, mindful of the potential risks, set the storage bag aside and took a calming breath.

With the new storage bag, Wayne could now secure his wealth without concerns about exposure. Eager to make the most of his newfound resources, he decided to open all the treasure chests at once.

Ding! Opening Ordinary Treasure Chest *100.

Obtained: Oren 1033 pieces.

Ding! Opening Ordinary Treasure Chest *100.

Obtained: Oren 1075 pieces.

Ding! Opening Ordinary Treasure Chest *100.

Obtained: Oren 1143 pieces.

However, Wayne's luck appeared to be dwindle as he consecutively opened several chests without obtaining anything beyond coins.

While the ordinary treasure chests only had a lesser chance of yielding items, getting nothing for consecutive chests was considered particularly unlucky. Despite this setback, Wayne remained unperturbed, recognizing the value of the magic storage bag he had acquired, even if the subsequent chests yielded no additional items.

The system chimed again, "Ding! Ordinary Treasure chest opening *100," and this time, Wayne received 998 pieces of Oren along with a substantial gift pack of snacks. As the system message concluded, a money bag and a sizable cardboard box, approximately a quarter of a cubic meter in size, materialized on his bed.

Wayne stood in silence for several seconds before proceeding to open the cardboard box with a perplexed expression. Inside, he discovered fifty cans of Mineral Water, fifty cans of assorted beverages, one hundred bags containing various potato chips and shrimp crackers, two hundred bags of spicy sticks in all varieties, and sixty to seventy bags of candies, chocolates, and biscuits. The contents filled the massive box to its brim.

Examining the characters on the packaging, Wayne recognized them as snacks from his own country before his transversion to this world, and his heart swelled with emotion. Despite seldom indulging in these junk foods during his training in his previous life, the classic tastes held sentimental value, deeply ingrained in the memories of every food enthusiast's childhood.

Nostalgia overwhelmed him, prompting Wayne to open a can of beverage and pick up a pack of spicy sticks. Slowly savoring the flavors of the past, he took his time, spending a good 10 minutes indulging before sighing contentedly and settling back onto the bed.

In the final unboxing, Wayne abandoned any reservations, choose to open all the remaining boxes at once.

"Ding, Opening Ordinary Treasure Chest *103, Expert Treasure Chest *1."

Obtained: 1323 pieces of Oren, five bottles of Invisible Potion.

Invisibility Potion: A high-level potion from the world of Faerun, refined by a high-level alchemist, can make the host enter an invisible state after taking it, the duration is 3 minutes, and the interval between taking it is one hour.

In comparison to the magic storage bag, the Invisibility Potion seemed mediocre, serving as a consumable with a short duration. While it could be useful in emergencies, its limited duration diminished its appeal.

Wayne pondered whether the potion's effectiveness would be influenced by the dimeritium. This remained uncertain, but based on his experience of opening expert treasure chests twice, he considered himself remarkably lucky. All the expert-level treasure chests had yielded valuable items, defying the odds of less than 5.00% of obtaining any useful equipment besides Oren.

While Wayne couldn't be certain if his luck was influenced by the four points from the Gwent card, he resolved to prioritize improving the his Gwent card's level. In the world of The Witcher: The Game of Gwent, this skill held significant benefits – generating income, providing entertainment, and facilitating character leveling. Wayne deemed it a magical skill with vast potential.
